Declarative Statements

Anise is a stupid choice for the default flavor of cough syrup.

I took a couple days off because I was sicker than I ever remember being. During this time I drank a lot of generic NyQuil and that inspired this statement. I know that anise (AKA black licorice) has it’s fans but it’s certainly not the most popular flavor. It may have been during the days of penny whistles and kids pushing hula hoops around with sticks but it’s not any more. I don’t like artificial cherry flavoring but even that makes more sense. So why anise?
